Time 2h

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 16

4 green bell peppers, halved lengthwise and seeded
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 ¼ cups water, divided
½ cup rice
1 cube beef bouillon

¼ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon dried oregano
1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 (8 ounce) package shredded Cheddar cheese, divided
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
  • Place pepper halves, skin-side up, on a baking sheet. Rub pepper halves all over with 1 tablespoon olive oil.

TURKEY STUFFED BELL PEPPERS



Turkey Stuffed Bell Peppers image

Green peppers topped with melted cheddar cheese You can substitute low fat mozzarella cheese for cheddar. If you don't have pre-made bread crumbs use 3 pieces of wet de-crusted low carb bread, pulled apart and thoroughly mixed in the turkey. Using wet bread will create a juicier pepper so be careful when you cut into it.

Time 1h10m

Yield 8 peppers, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

8 green peppers
1 lb ground turkey

Tips:

  • Choose the right bell peppers. Look for bell peppers that are firm, brightly colored, and have smooth skin. Avoid peppers that are bruised or have soft spots.
  • Prepare the bell peppers properly. Cut the tops off the bell peppers and remove the seeds and ribs. Rinse the peppers under cold water and pat them dry.
  • Cook the turkey filling thoroughly. Make sure the turkey filling is cooked through before stuffing the bell peppers. You can do this by cooking the filling in a skillet over medium heat until it is no longer pink.
  • Stuff the bell peppers loosely. Do not overstuff the bell peppers, as this will make them difficult to cook evenly. Leave some space at the top of each pepper so that the filling can expand.
  • Bake the stuffed bell peppers until they are tender. Bake the stuffed bell peppers in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 30-45 minutes, or until the peppers are tender and the filling is cooked through.
  • Serve the stuffed bell peppers immediately. Stuffed bell peppers are best served immediately after they are cooked. You can garnish them with chopped parsley or cilantro before serving.

Conclusion:

Spicy turkey stuffed bell peppers are a delicious and easy-to-make meal. They are perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion. With a little planning and preparation, you can make this dish in no time. So next time you are looking for a new and exciting way to cook bell peppers, give this recipe a try.
